Ah, seeing this I realize you weren't opposing participation in  
electoral politics by comparing to unthinkable things like going to  
church or joining a fraternity.  Disregard my criticism of exclusivist  
tone!  I seem to be somewhat tone-deaf to list-talk these days now  
that I don't get to look at it much.

Oh and what's with doug calling me some sort of tough guy?  He's met
